Tassy karters venture to the big island
A contingent of 11 of Tasmania’s best junior drivers head off this week to the Eastern Lions Kart Club in Victoria to contest the annual Junior Sprint Classic. Without a doubt the biggest and best junior meeting on the Australian calendar, the Junior Sprint is a must for all juniors in Australia.
Heading the list will be Tate Frost who will be champing at the bit to finally secure a major race win after knocking on the door at rounds of the Australian Kart Championship over the past two years and coming within 0.006 of a second from claiming last years KA4 Junior Light final.
Frost will be joined by fellow Launceston Kart Club member Lochie Dalton who has stepped up this year and has been at the pointy end of the KA2 field at the national championships.
